Vande Guest House

We arrived late in the evening and were greeted with a warm smile. The staff are welcoming, the place is nice, and the yard is well cared for. The pool was good too. There's a kitchen if you'd like to cook. I recommend staying here!

It's a small, charming, quiet place, with friendly staff and good customer service. You're close to the beaches and the center. It seems better suited to families and people who like peace and quiet than to young partygoers. You can ask the staff to hire a bike, a small moto costs 70-80idr.

The staff are friendly, and the pool area has nice loungers and hammocks. During the day, the property feels peaceful and green, and it's mostly quiet. You rarely hear the road except at rush hour. Scooters are available to rent for IDR50k/day. Our room was large, basic, and reasonably clean, though the shelves and other furniture felt randomly placed. You only get a couple of soap bars, no other toiletries, so bring your own shampoo and such. The common areas could use better maintenance. A little staircase at the bottom of the pool leads to a platform overlooking a rubbish-strewn field where some cows roam. It's a shame so much trash is scattered around.

Vande is the biggest bonus here. He's such a friendly owner and will help whenever you ask, just ask nicely! He creates a great atmosphere for everyone. This guesthouse is a good choice if you want a nice Bali stay in a town that's not too busy. The rooms are very clean, and the cool pool is a great spot to spend a lazy day. There's some gym equipment if you're up for a workout. You can cook in the kitchen or choose from all the nearby restaurants and takeaways. Rent a scooter and go exploring. Give it a try, you won't regret it!
